V3 VR headset with a 1080p display sells for $130 (or less)
Chinese chip maker Allwinner recently unveiled a platform for low-cost all-in-one virtual reality headsets called the Allwinner H8vr.

Mozilla says it’s trying to win users and developers back to Firefox.
Firefox, at long last, is going multi-process. Electrolysis (e10s), barring an eleventh-hour mishap, is coming to the masses with Firefox 48. In the words of long-time Mozillan Asa Dotzler, this is the most significant Firefox change the foundation has ever shipped.
Back in July 2015, Firefox's director of engineering Dave Camp said that some major changes were on their way, with the hope of winning back users and developers. Firefox's market share has been flat or declining since 2010, ever since Chrome first started making major inroads. Finally getting e10s out the door (it was first announced in 2009!) was listed as one of Camp's priorities, along with accelerating the retirement of XUL and XBL.
Mozilla has been trialling Electrolysis to small groups of beta users since December 2015. In Firefox 48, which should be entering beta later today, e10s will be available to all users. Then, assuming no game-breaking issues are found, in six weeks (around August 2) the stable build of Firefox 48 will be released to the public with e10s enabled.

Oysters SF: One of the first Sailfish OS smartphone that doesn’t come from Jolla
While Finnish startup Jolla recently introduced a new limited-edition (1000 units) smartphone called the Jolla C, for the most part the company is done making hardware and instead wants to license its Sailfish OS software for use on other phones.
Earlier this year, Intex unveiled the Aqua Fish, one of the first Sailfish OS phones from a company other than Jolla. Now a Russian company has introduced a Sailfish OS phone with more powerful hardware.

Adobe fined by German privacy watchdog over lifeless EU-US data transfer deal
Software firm “unlawfully” shifted data to US from EU, rules Hamburg regulator.
Adobe Systems took a kick to the shins from a German privacy regulator, after the software maker was found to be using the defunct Safe Harbour deal to transfer data from the European Union to the US.
A piddling fine of just €8,000 was dished out to Adobe by the Hamburg Data Protection Supervisor—a watchdog known for its tough stance on outfits said to be breaching privacy laws.
The supervisor's office said (PDF) it carried out tests on 35 international companies to find out if they were lawfully transferring data across the pond from the EU, following a Court of Justice ruling in October that deemed the Safe Harbour pact to be invalid.
